truth is i may not understand your qustion/problem...because i see what
looks like Arabic to me in both kontact and konqueror (in your screen
shots)...which tells me those applications are correctly handling the
text within them...

but, what i do not see is Arabic in the applications menu...which means
to me the _system_ language has not be set...to do that try to go

there is the chance to leave the primary as English and make Arabic the

The CD does not contain all languages, they have to be installed later,
online. And I'm not sure if Arabic is one of the fully translated
languages. They are KDE apps, so they are translated upstream.
